That was a sensational day for Australia. I know it wasn't filled with medals, but there were some PBs and great results.

Swimming medals including Kaylee McKeown gold, seebohm bronze, mixed medley bronze, McKeon OR 50 free.

Hockeyroos win and remain undefeated heading into the quarters.

Peers and Barty claim bronze in the doubles.

Logan Martin qualifying top in the bmx freestyle.

Boomers top their group undefeated.

But the athletics absolutely blew me away. Peter Bol with an Oz record in the 800 and all 3 Aussies qualifying for the semis. Kurtis Marshall clears 5.75 to reach the pole vault final. Matt Denny with a PB over 67 metres in the Olympic final to finish 4th. And Browning winning his heat in the 100m in a PB of 10.01.

Fantastic and memorable day for Australia.

Emma McKeon is in rare form. She has the chance to grab two more gold in the pool this morning (50 Free & 4 x 100 Medley Relay) this would end our Swimming meet on such a high. Matt Wearn in the Laser class Sailing has the gold all but around his neck, all he has to do is start the race. 3 gold today would be incredible.

if 3 is incredible then what’s 4?
 
Surging ahead of the Russians and coming for the Japanese in the medal count. Depending on how the track cycling and team sports go we could have our highest ever gold total.
 
Huge effort from Andrew Charter on the first two Dutch attempts. Pulse is racing.
 
This is something extremely rare nearing the end of day 8 of an Olympics. When you go to the official site and look at multi medalists so far, 5 of the top 12 ie those with 3 medals, are Australians.

Shows the power of the Aussie swim team's performance in particular the women, and the 3 women relays and the one mixed relay Australia won 2 and took bronze in 2, and of the 7 relays, we medaled in 6 of them.

This list is done in IOC fashion golds count first, but if you did it in USA fashion and started with total medals first and then gold silver and bronze to order total medals, Emma Mckeon would be 1st but only 1, swimmer from GBR's Duncan Scott with 1 gold and 3 silver would slot into the 12 and make it 5 from 13.

After the gymnastics a few more will get to 4 and 5 medals but something I have never seen before near the end of the second Sunday.

A lot more events than there used to be though. Athens was 301, this Olympics is 339. Don’t think we will surpass Athens regardless as we’re likely to get 0 from Track Cycling (I think there’s 8 in total). Unless Sailing or some team sports come in.
